Six Pointer
I’m glad most everybody seems to be over on the ACC football thread…when they come over here there won’t be much to talk about besides Omicron and Coach K’s farewell tour
It was a drubbing, no other way around it.Well there sure isn’t much to say about Kentucky’s abuse of unc. carolina stayed on six points for an eternity and hubie continued the fine tradition of “letting them play thru it.” No timeouts for him.
Glad I had it recorded I couldn’t watch that mess in real time.
That last sentence is exactly what I would expect UNC fans to say, after the drubbing they took, yesterday.It was a drubbing, no other way around it.
In other news,
State lost to Richmond
Louisville lost to western Ky.
Pitt actually got a W at the buzzer over St Johns
Wake narrowly escaped UNC-Charlotte at the buzzer
FSU is in COVID Protocol
Syracuse is in COVID protocol
I will say this, anything short of both the ACC regular season and ACC Tournament champions for Dook will be a massive choke job for K on his way out.
Look at the ACC right now...there is not another ranked team nor a team even on the cusp of being ranked. And Dook is #2 in the country currently. How would that not be a massive choke job. The ACC might as well be a mid-major this year. No way around it, if K can't win the regular season and the ACC tourney it will be a massive choke a job for his last year!That last sentence is exactly what I would expect UNC fans to say, after the drubbing they took, yesterday.
I don't disagree. Everyone except Duke is putrid in the ACC.Look at the ACC right now...there is not another ranked team nor a team even on the cusp of being ranked.

My neighbor is from Philly and a big Nova fan, he said the same thing, so its not just the heels fans. Watch some games buddy, its a long season but the ACC is putrid right now.
naw - too young to be consistent - losing to osu just a precursor to this team's inability to close.It was a drubbing, no other way around it.

Dook vs the field for the ACC regular season champions...who you betting on?naw - too young to be consistent - losing to osu just a precursor to this team's inability to close.
They really dont have enough basketballs to keep all of duke's talent happy. they dont get to play all their games in cameron.
But i made the same point about the uselessness of the acc this season.
Long winter ahead for local basketball.
i have no dog in that fight.Dook vs the field for the ACC regular season champions...who you betting on?
Exactly, If the model don't work this year Dook fans better be glad he is retiringi have no dog in that fight.
I do know that betting against the GOAT to win a championship has been a lock in recent years. When's the last time duke won the acc. Their model isnt working anymore.
Duke foot injuries, duke's fear of covid could shut down the program, anything can upset that applecart.
But @CharlesIngalls I know what you're doing- just remember it's hard to s... a s......,
no one will miss him more than unc fans. he's been in their heads for a long long time.Exactly, If the model don't work this year Dook fans better be glad he is retiring
I am not a Duke fan, but will be glad to see him gone. I have disliked him ever since he got the NCAA to expunge those losses from his record while keeping the salary for being head coach. A classless act.Exactly, If the model don't work this year Dook fans better be glad he is retiring
I'm pretty sure I will despise Dook just as much next year, the year after that, and for many more after that as well hahaha...no one will miss him more than unc fans. he's been in their heads for a long long time.
Just like duke fans missed the evil phony des. No way to despise unc under roy like you could with mr. choke -aka dean.
We can do this as much as you like @CharlesIngalls .
We heard you the first 3 times.So anyways, since this is a "College Basketball 2021-2022" Thread and not a "Debate K's Supposed GOAT Status" Thread, back to my original statement: BARRING injury, COVID, it will be a massive choke job if the supposed GOAT can't get the job done in the ACC this year.
If there is anyone out there that can change my mind, please do.
I think you meant to type a different R wordI wish Bill Walton would do east coast games that I really cared about
He is just random enough to be entertaining
Rat? Dook? Sounds like the beginnings of smack talk to me. And I have a feeling vacations are going to be given to at least one person soon. Just sayin.https://www.si.com/nba/2021/12/16/nba-draft-big-board-jabari-smith-paolo-banchero-chet-holmgren
This is what I am talking about. 5 projected Dook picks, 4 projected in the top 20. The rest of the ACC has 3 total.
It really does back up what I am saying, no talent in the Mid-Major Atlantic Coast Conference, except for one team... It would be plenty embarrassing to have such a cupboard full of riches compared to everyone else and not go out on top. But we all know the Rat's recent track record, and college basketball is competitive enough that the field will usually win out. Excited to watch it play out!
I don’t mean to be ignorant, but I thought it was pretty common knowledge in the basketball world that one of Coach K’s nicknames over the years has been “The Rat” just like Roy was known to many in Durham for so long as “Huckleberry Hound.” Also, fans of a certain team 8 miles from Durham routinely spell “Duke” with an alternate spelling. Kind of like the other side refers to the Tarheels as “The Cheats” or “Tarholes”Rat? Dook? Sounds like the beginnings of smack talk to me.

If that is not allowed here, my apologies and rest assured it won’t be printed again.
They are impossible to figure- how do you take the #1 team in the nation to OT and lose to wright state in raleigh?If Keatts wants to keep his job he better start teaching defense...
State SUX
I have never heard roy called any bad names just ole roy- in a nice or demeaning tone. Learn something every day.K has always been nicknamed the “rat” and I always heard Roy called “pig face “ k looks like a rat and Roy always looked like a pig. I sure do miss the pig and will miss the rat soon enough. I wish they could’ve been gone out together. But Roy would’ve had a horrible group for a farewell tour.

K is like Trump - folks that hate him really hate him. several books written on the subject. I dont think any coach in any sport has had such a negative following.
I suppose duke university will ruin k's farewell tour. In a race to see who can be most scared of covid -duke is determined to win.
Just see their booster policy for students, faculty and staff.
A covid miss is now a forfeit, duke hasnt been hit yet but surely will; and will tag K with potential conference losses,.
Possibly in their zeal to show how "serious" duke takes covid they may cancel like the womens last year. We'll see.
No, there is much more to it. Factor in the extreme court side cursing, having his losses expunged to pad his record, etc. Also some of what you said, but certainly not limited to that.People hate him so much because he’s so good.
